So, i guess i should start a thread now i have alot of catching up to do but heres the deal,
I had a 98 xj long arm on 35s with a pile of other money wrapped up in my jeep when I got the bright idea to trade the heep for a newer grand cherokee 2001 with the 4.0 limited very clean, first day i had it i ordered lift and tires. well turned out I got screwed! the kid that traded me with cash on his end.. drove this p.o.s 1 hour to my house to do the deal, therefore it was warmed up and to my eye and ear this was a clean jeep.. the next morning i came to figure out that on cold starts it had piston slap bad until it warmed up WTF! sounded like a peter-built.. He got me, so i went about my business driving it around when one night bam shattered #6 piston skirt which is a common issue with the new 4.0s. Somehow i sold the jeep for $2000 with the brand new lift kit for it and a blown motor. So after my wife was done screaming at me we decided to take the little money i had out to look around, as im laid off right now I am seriously low on cash. i drove a hour out of my way looking for the right vehicle knowing i did not want another jeep (nothing against them) just already built 15 of them and did not want to go that route. So, we pull into a buy here pay here dealer and i saw the one. A clean 1 owner 96 t4r limited with e locker completely stock and 1,700 down payment. After driving the Toyota for about a hour on a test drive i was in love! more room/ a lot more style, comfortable, 4x4, reliable, everything i found i was really impressed with over a jeep any day. cash exchanged and i was on my way home in her. I dont have a name yet feel free to chime in with one

called the cops and whatnot hit and run, nothing on camera's so i turned it into my insurance and they wrote me a check for i believe 1200 so i decided i no longer had to use for a stock bumper and gave scotty a call and ordered my addicted off road bumper and and winch to go with it:guitar3:
